Teams – new message center posts:
Meeting Search in MS Teams Desktop MC1104317
Published Jun 26, 2025
We're improving the search experience in
Microsoft Teams Desktop to make it easier for users to find and take action on
meetings—past, present, and future—directly from the search bar.
Targeted Release: Rolling out early June 2025, expected
to complete by mid-June 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High,
DoD): Rolling out mid-June 2025, expected to complete by late June 2025.
Microsoft Teams: Usability and privacy
improvements for live captions and transcripts in meetings MC1104311
Published Jun 26, 2025
We’ve made several usability improvements to
enhance live captions and live transcripts in Microsoft Teams — making meetings
more intuitive, less distracting, and more privacy-conscious.
First, live captions will be scrollable,
allowing users to review the meeting conversation without interrupting the live
view. To help protect sensitive content and support compliance with data
handling policies, copying text from live captions is now disabled by default.
This ensures captions remain a real-time experience, reducing the risk of
content being copied and shared out of context.
Second, the Live transcript panel will no
longer open automatically for the user who starts recording, which also
triggers transcription in the background. Before this rollout, this panel only
auto-opens for the person who initiates recording or transcription — not for
other participants — but this can be distracting and isn’t always relevant to
the user's intent. After this rollout, the Live transcript panel will remain
closed unless manually opened or the user explicitly starts transcription. This
gives users more control over their meeting layout and helps avoid unnecessary
screen changes during important discussions.
Third, when transcription is enabled, users who
attempt to open the Live transcript panel will now see a banner suggesting they
switch to live captions instead. This helps guide users to the most appropriate
feature for following the conversation in real time, improving comprehension
and reducing confusion.
This message applies to Teams for Windows
desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, and Teams for the web.

Roadmap ID 495454.
Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out
early July 2025 and expect to complete by mid-July 2025.
General Availability (Worldwide, GCC): We will
begin rolling out mid-July 2025 and expect to complete by late July 2025.
General Availability (GCC High): We will begin
rolling out late July 2025 and expect to complete by early August 2025.
General Availability (DoD): We will begin
rolling out early August 2025 and expect to complete by mid-August 2025.
Microsoft Teams: Users can save chats and
channel messages for later MC1104306
Published Jun 26, 2025
We're introducing a new user feature in
Microsoft Teams that allows individuals to save any message—whether it's a
post, reply, or chat—and access it later from the Saved view in their Chat or
Teams list. Clicking a saved message will open the full conversation in the
right pane, enabling users to review or respond directly. This helps users
quickly return to important information without scrolling through long threads.
This message applies to Teams for Windows
desktop, Teams for Mac desktop, Teams for the web, and Teams for iOS/Android.

Microsoft Teams on the web: New Private Preview

Published Jun 25, 2025
We’re introducing a new sign-in experience that
enhances flexibility and accessibility for a limited number of users on
Microsoft Teams for the web. This change introduces new sign-in
options—Continue with Apple and Continue with Google—on the sign-in page
(teams.microsoft.com or teams.com) for users routed through
login.microsoftonline.com/common.
NOTE: These options are intended for consumer
Microsoft accounts and may be visible to both consumer and enterprise users,
depending on your authentication configuration.
We will begin rolling out this private preview
(Worldwide) in mid-August 2025 to a small number of Teams for the web users and
expect to complete by mid-October 2025. We expect to expand this feature
to other Microsoft apps later in 2025.
Microsoft Teams: Speaker Coach (Preview)
will retire MC1101903
Published Jun 23, 2025
We will be retiring the Speaker
Coach feature in Microsoft Teams, which was previously available as a
Preview. After evaluating feedback and usage during the Preview phase, we have
decided not to move this feature to general availability. Speaker Coach will be
removed from Teams starting mid-August 2025, with full retirement expected
by late August 2025.
We sincerely appreciate the feedback from users
who explored the Preview. Your input has been instrumental in guiding future
